A federal jury convicted Brian Broderick on March 8 of threatening the FBI following a one week-trial, announced U.S. Attorney Ismail Ramsey. The jury convicted Broderick on one count of transmitting a communication containing a threat to injure.

The 32-year-old Santa Cruz man contacted the FBI repeatedly in 2021 and 2022 to report several issues, including allegations against Apple, prosecutors said.

The Santa Cruz Police Department wrote that Broderick was paranoid and “in the midst of a mental health crisis,” court records state. SCPD obtained a gun violence restraining order against him, and law enforcement officers seized his gun from a storage locker.

Apple filed a restraining order against Broderick accusing him of harassment on Dec. 27, 2021. A judge granted a 3-year restraining order.
